I believe the therapeutic relationship heals and will keep good boundaries while also genuinely caring about your well-being. I am a warm, intelligent, down-to-earth person who snorts when she laughs. I am interactive and fun, compassionate and heart-centered, as well as grounded and practical. I welcome all people from all walks of life and will allow your therapy journey to unfold organically, at your pace and with your power. I also give feedback and homework and will give you gentle nudges from time to time, if needed. Therapy is hard and fun and beautiful and painful. I hold safe space.
I integrate talk therapy with brainspotting, a technique for healing trauma and accessing inner wisdom. I also offer walk and talk therapy, EMDR, and individual family constellations work, which is a powerful embodied experiential healing modality for healing generational trauma. I accept and bill traditional Medicare. Out of network with other plans.
I am an LGBTQIA affirming therapist and enjoy working with people from all walks of life. All people are welcome in my practice. I understand how hard it can be to reach out for therapy for the first time. You are brave! You will be met with kindness. Please email or call if you have questions.
